Late Summer Pest Surge in Camdenton & Osage Beach | Plank Pest Control

Warm summer days may be great for lake life—but they also bring a surge in pest activity. As we enter the late summer stretch, more insects are seeking food, water, and shelter, which means your home and property in Camdenton and Osage Beach could see a major uptick in activity from mosquitoes, ants, spiders, and other unwanted guests.

Here’s what to watch out for—and how Plank Termite & Pest Control can help.

1. Mosquitoes Are Peaking

Stagnant water and humid conditions around the lake region make late summer prime time for mosquitoes. These biting pests aren’t just annoying—they can carry diseases like West Nile and Zika.

Tip: Dump standing water and keep your lawn trimmed. Our mosquito yard treatments offer targeted protection that reduces active populations fast.

2. Spiders Are on the Move

Brown recluse and black widow spiders tend to move indoors as the weather shifts. They seek cool, undisturbed areas like basements, closets, and attics—putting your family at risk for painful bites.

Tip: Watch for spider webs in corners and storage areas. Ask us about our Perimeter Guard plans for long-term protection.

3. Ants Invade Kitchens and Patios

Odorous house ants and pavement ants are constantly in search of food. Once they find it—especially pet food or crumbs on the floor—they’ll return with the whole colony.

Tip: Keep counters and floors clean. Our one-time ant treatments or year-round service plans stop ants at the source.

4. Cockroaches & Stinging Pests

Heat and humidity drive cockroaches and wasps into homes, garages, and crawl spaces. Stinging pests are especially aggressive this time of year, and roaches spread bacteria wherever they crawl.

Tip: Seal up cracks and don’t leave pet food out. Let us inspect and treat key entry points before it becomes a bigger issue.
